Honest

Bein honest ain't always painless
Sometimes the truth cut like stainless
Realize the difference 'tween bein known and bein famous
We all wanna be entertainers we let it change us
And yet we sayin the same shit so socially brainless
Someone explain this and if you can't then I will
Yeah we hurt cause we feel
Yeah we hurt but we'll heal
And still we all in search of the real
Somethin' that we can look back at to know it mattered
Success isn't usually served on silver platters
Most times take it out the trash and turn it to treasure
Play through the pain until it turns into pleasure
Just do whatever they can't measure your dream

Naw you aint gone break me down
Can't ruin my smile
Won't break me
Naw, you ain't gone ruin my smile
Can't break me down
Won't break me

Can't break me down now no no way
No way no how not once not now
Can't break me down won't break me

Bein honest ain't always painless
People and the truth often have awkward exchanges
Easier to talk to strangers
More than our own family members
Child perspectives we can't remember that we have them
But as adults we still throwin' temper tamtrums
Thangs just ain't been goin our way
Good luck is more than delayed
Interrupted by bitten tongues when we got so much to say
But it's okay
Cause once we catch that wind beneath wings you know we gone blow em away
So let's show em today ay I know it's not too late
See ya boy been makin poems since of summer '08
In hopes that one day all y'all can call me a great
We'll see what happens huh

(Don't give up on em now)
Sometimes great minds think alike but always for themselves if you catchin L's
Take 2 of them then turn em to a dub wassup

Naw you aint gone break me down
Can't ruin my smile
Won't break me
Naw, you ain't gone ruin my smile
Can't break me down
Won't break me

Can't break me down now no no way
No way no how not once not now
Can't break me down won't break me

Some of the worst enemies used to be the best of friends
Since success is the best revenge
Then when preparation meetin opportunity
Old homies gone be wishin that they was still cool
Girls who curved me will surely act like I'm the shit
Pshh too late girl you missed out
But I ain't pissed now I just smile
Kill em wit kindness then ghost em like capser
They don't matter I just laugh about it after
Matter fact forget about em even faster
It's no hassle all's I have to do nothin cause naturally don't think aboutchu
What I got to be mad about it
Anything I'd ever need I have it now
Good shit happen'n dawg my people is happy now
Ayo I'm more than a rapper now
Graduated but I'm more than a cap and gown
Make up for wasted times you'll see that it takes a while
You can do it in style homie just make sure they don't break your smile

Naw you aint gone break me down
Can't ruin my smile
Won't break me
Naw, you ain't gone ruin my smile
Can't break me down
Won't break me

Can't break me down now no no way
No way no how not once not now
Can't break me down won't break me

Why does bad shit happen to greatest of people?
Why is the amount of love and hate never equal God?
Why do the good die young?
Why do some get cancer?
How come so many of the reaper's actions don't have answers
Second chances ain't 'posed to come round often huh?
Then why I get em a lot?
Blood clots filled with guilt in my heart
That's why I'm prayin till my dyin day
Cause wit my kind of karma I should prolly die today
So could you spare the world one more birthday?
Why you create when you got early plans of takin em away in the first place?
Did you need em that bad?
Was their time done here on earth?
To never have or lost, really what's worse?
The memory of a legend never dies it multiplies into plural
Rest in Peace to Dan Mira
Rest in Peace to Arturo Escobar by far it was great to meet ya
Rest in Peace my Uncle Tim and next door neighbor Lita
We'll see ya later some day ay

Naw you aint gone break me down
Can't ruin my smile
Won't break me
Naw, you ain't gone ruin my smile
Can't break me down
Won't break me
